Milwaukee had a mafia, and they were no small potatoes.

Show overview
Milwaukee Mafia has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 214 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 25 min and 43 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language True Crime show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 34 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 54 episodes published. Published by Gavin Schmitt.
